Perfect place

This property was wonderful. It was clean and had everything you needed for a wonderful vacation. The owners were the nicest people who were easy to communicate with and provided so many "extras" that you felt like you were home. The location was wonderful that you could walk to the beach then come back and soak in the hot tub. Would definitely come back!!!

Bay & beach

This house gives you the best of both worlds. We spent time kayaking, fishing off the pier, swimming in the pool and relaxing in the hot tub. We walked to the beautiful beach, ice cream shop and coffee shop. It's a very short walk to beach. The house is very spacious. We had the whole down stairs. Indian rocks beach is less crowded and beautiful.

Great place with abundance of amenities and fantastic view.

Super easy check in process, clear communication of what we needed. We never heard the upstairs owners until the very end with only a great smile and wave good-bye. It was exactly what we needed for us to relax and unwind. The pool was amazing, along with the hot tub (we kept it cool for August), our boys loved fishing off the dock and using the kayaks. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook and keep things cool. The living room was perfect for us to gather and the beds were comfy and clean. The place was perfect - Thank you! The Bellew's PS the bird life was so fun to watch with our morning coffee.

Lynn and Harry were exceptional hosts. They are very kind and cared about our comfort. The house is within walking distance of the beach and everything is available from Lynn and Harry to enjoy the beach: umbrella, beach chairs, bodyboard, etc. The grocery store is just a few minutes' drive away. We enjoyed the pool and spa. We were lucky enough to see dolphins in front of the house. Thank you for everything. And as our teenager said, "Best vacation ever!"
